Dont know if this was posted or not and I'm not sure how I missed it.

This is pretty much undoubtedly going to be my AOTY. If I even had a doubt... which I really didnt, this would have crushed it.

I found that last night while trying to find the Dance of the Vampires for a friend and I was like, what in the fuck?!

I Hate Records is giving this a reissue very soon.

^Fucking evil Japanese black thrash attack!



^They're back!



^Italian black metal.

New Howls of Ebb / Khthoniik Cerviiks split.

[EspaDa]

 

[Krow]

New Summoning. May not be this year though.

 

[Krow]

Also, not sure I like this.... may have to try it again because I've had a lot of trouble with Dani's vocals on CoF but he sounds pretty decent here:



Reminds me of the theatrical nonsense of the last few Carach Angren albums but with better lyrics.

@Baroque^.

Expain and Witchaven are both underrated as fuck. Just the Tip was only topped by Slave to the Sword as far as technical thrash goes for that year and Terrorstorm was one of the best albums of 2010.

 

[Baroque]

Thanks for the witchaven news. Hoping the rest of the album sounds better tho

 

[CiG]

That's a split so it is probably throwaway material, you know how that goes. I hope it's a hint of much more full length things to come.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

New Summoning. May not be this year though.

Ok, I fucking NEED that Sauron Eye design tattooed on me. Holy fuck that's amazing.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Don't Call It A Comeback... But CONFESSOR Are Coming Back!

 

[CiG]

 

[SweptbackFlame]

New one from Act Of Defiance's follow-up to their debut album.

 

[CiG]

 

[Krow]

Oh fuck that Iron Monkey was vicious. That may end up being one of my favorite albums this year.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I don't just listen to shitty 80s metal. A friend of mine told me to blast this and it is pretty damn great. Not sure it will be the best black metal album of the year, but it's Finnish-style and surprisingly epic sounding. I think I like the new Goatmoon a bit more. Haven't heard Nocturnal Mortem yet so.
